Ingredients

• 1.5 lb Monkfish
• 1/2 lb Shrimp
• 1.5 cups Arborio rice
• 1 Onion
• 3 Tomatoes
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 5 cups Fish stock
• 1/4 cup Olive oil
• 1/4 cup Cilantro

Steps

1. Sear the monkfish chunks until just golden; set aside — they finish in the rice.
2. Soften the onion, garlic, and tomatoes in olive oil into a sweet, thick base.
3. Add the rice and toast 2 minutes; pour in the hot stock all at once.
4. Simmer 12 minutes, stirring, until the rice is nearly tender and the dish is brothy.
5. Nestle in the monkfish and shrimp; cook 5 minutes more until just opaque.
6. Rest 5 minutes and finish with cilantro; the rice should flow, never mound.
